may i use IDE's ????

. i have got a feel of hoe to run the servlets/jsp code using the BEGINNERS's process -

"copy the class file into the appropriate directory and type in a path into the browser address box, this path should be as per the entries made in web.xml"

i have installed 'eclipse' and 'sun studio creator' on my system. having done this, would it be fine if i start using the IDE's and let the IDE take care of the directory structure and web.xml entrie ? or Do i still need to follow the begineer's process as procedure to know the 'deployment descripto' for the exam ?

please reply me. i have donloaded tutuorials on how to use the IDE's !

thanx in advance

I would suggest that it's a good idea to know how to do everything without an IDE - knowing how everything works in the raw is part of the exam. That assumes, of course, that you're planning on eventually persuing the exam.

(That said, I use an IDE at work, but still.)

I’ve looked at a lot of different solutions, and in my humble opinion Aspose is the way to go. Here’s the link: http://aspose.com
